Which actress was featured in Bruce Springsteen's video for "Dancing in the Dark" before she was famous?
TV is full of lies.
If the fact that House Hunters isn't real didn't convince you, maybe this will — the "random fan" that gets pulled up on stage in Bruce Springsteen's iconic 1984 hit, "Dancing in the Dark," is actually a plant.
Yep. That wasn't just some person who happened to get in for the shoot and caught the eye of Bruce — it was an actress who had been hired to awkwardly dance on stage with him. Lies!
But that moment did help to launch that person's career, who would go on to become a very successful actress. Who was she?

Correct Answer: Courtney Cox
The answer is: Courtney Cox. Before she was a successful chef with a group of Friends in New York, or breaking news in a small town in Scream, Courtney Cox got her big break dancing alongside the Boss. She said she was a huge fan and incredibly nervous to audition, but somehow it worked, and a star was born-ish.Source
